Chao Ping entered the palace and went to see the emperor, he saw Cao Xinyang and Wan Li, and did not ask for any news.

Cao Xinyang and Wanli gathered troops, and Chaoping has been in the imperial study for more than half an hour, Cao Xinyang's men and horses and Wanli's men and horses are counting the number of people, the elite troops in these two armies are standing neatly in the palace, these thousand eight hundred people are going to die generously, they don't have a little cowardice on their faces, because they know that they are for the country, they understand the meaning of this battle, they don't carry too many things, just bring a dagger and a long knife, wearing light armor, ready to go out of the city to attack the enemy。

The assembled soldiers in the palace were very tragic, and the school yard was very quiet, and only a few officers could be heard counting the numbers, carefully recording the names of these soldiers.

At this time, Wan Li and Cao Xinyang saw Chaoping coming from the emperor's study. Chaoping looked very calm on his face, he walked over directly, and told Cao Xinyang and Wanli that he could disband these soldiers.

Cao Xinyang was very surprised and asked, "Brother, this operation has been canceled?" What's the matter, no, I have to ask Your Majesty." Chaoping then said, "Well, Your Majesty is looking for two of you." After saying that, the two generals entered the palace, while Chaoping walked out of the palace and went directly to the barracks.

"Your Majesty, is it true that I heard from the horse that this operation was canceled?" General Wan asked anxiously.

The emperor told Wan Li: "Yes, I asked him to tell you, this operation will be led by a horse." Cao Xinyang said in surprise: "What, go with the horse? Then he will take Youyun Eighteen to ride? What are you kidding?" The emperor said: "Alas, it's Li Jiajun." At this time, Wan Li and Cao Xinyang were just about to say something, but the emperor waved his hand to make them retreat, and they had to obey orders.

After coming out, Cao Xinyang was very angry, and shouted at Wanli: "What is this called, why don't you let us go, besides, the Li family army has that little blood, and it is Chaoping who personally leads the team, this is a battle that has no return, at first His Majesty told us to hide from him, what did he say to His Majesty, so that His Majesty is so determined to give up the last strength of the Li Family's army." Wan Li didn't squeak, but pulled out half of the sword, thrust it down with a special force, turned around and went to the Li Jiajun's barracks to find Chaoping.

Chaoping found Wu Chongguang in the barracks, asked him to gather troops, counted the number of people, and then found a part of the cavalry in the troops of Wanli, gathered 2,000 men and horses, and prepared to set off, Chaoping has already explained to Wu Chongguang and other soldiers what they are going to do this time, everyone is in high morale, and they want to fight with the enemy in a bloody battle, and reinvigorate the prestige of the Li family's army, and those subordinates in Wanli have no complaints, and are willing to listen to Chaoping's dispatch and follow the Li family army out to meet the enemy.

Chaoping explained everything to Wu Chongguang, and then planned to go back to the post station to pack his things, at this time Wanli arrived at the barracks, Chaoping told him that he was in charge of his own affairs, relying on His Majesty's holy decree to privately mobilize a part of his people.

Wan Li didn't care about this matter at all, but said directly to Chaoping: "Young marshal, you can't do this, although Your Majesty has already given an order, I don't know how you persuaded Your Majesty, but this battle should definitely not be fought by you, you have to go to me, if you have to let Li Jiajun go on the expedition, then I will take them there, you stay, how about it." Chaoping told Wanli four words,

"The military order is like a mountain. After that, he went back to the post station, and there was no way to go directly back to his military tent.

"Big brother, you're back. Feiyan saw Chaoping walk in from the gate, at this time Feiyan was dancing a sword in the courtyard, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, it should be a very beautiful scenery, but these days of artillery fire, the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and even the snow was not white and flawless.

Chaoping saw Feiyan in the courtyard, and told her to let her follow him into the house, and by the way, he called all the Youyun soldiers in to talk about things.

In the main hall, Chaoping said to Feiyan: " Feiyan, I want to go out, you must protect Your Majesty in this city, this city is very dangerous, it is not enough to rely on the guards around Your Majesty, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, you are Your Majesty's secret guard, you must protect Your Majesty thoroughly, Youyun soldiers also stay in Guanzhong this time, if the city is broken, don't hesitate, immediately lead Your Majesty to break through, you block the enemy's small force is, this Brother Cao's troops still need so many people, and his military discipline is strict, even if he is defeated, he will not collapse, presumably it is okay to take His Majesty to escape back. Feiyan saw Chaoping's expression was very solemn, and knew that something must have happened, so she said: "Big brother, I want to go with you, this majesty's guard martial arts are not weak, not worse than me, besides, these eighteen brothers are invincible in the army, why use me if they have them, I will follow you wherever you go, let them see the skills of our people in the rivers and lakes." Chaoping continued: "I have made up my mind, you do it, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you must protect Your Majesty's safety, otherwise the world will fall." The crowd didn't say anything, and then obeyed Chaoping's orders, and the Youyun soldiers prepared the items and weapons he wanted to bring out for Chaoping, and fed the Jedi Dust Horse early and put on the armor.

At dawn the next day, Chaoping took advantage of the snow and was ready to go out, and the Youyun soldiers and Feiyan sent Chaoping to the barracks, and they helped Chaoping lead the horse and carry the gun.

In the barracks, Wan Li and Cao Xinyang were on the side, Chaoping and Wu Chongguang simply said a few words, and called all the people, their cavalry elite Li Jiajun went out of the city, taking advantage of the fog, the enemy army could not see clearly whether anyone was out of the city, they just surrounded the cold water pass, who went out of the city and wanted to break out of the encirclement, after all, it would alarm them, of course, this Chaoping They don't know when the Liao army will attack the city, as the art of war says, the heart is the first, the siege is second.

Chaoping rode a horse in front of the team, with a sword on his waist, and a gun in his hand, he went out of the city with soldiers and horses, and at the gate of the city, Chaoping repeatedly instructed Feiyan and Youyun soldiers to tell them to protect the emperor, and then took these military horses and disappeared into the fog.

Chaoping and they walked away, the door was closed, and General Wanli climbed the city tower and looked into the distance alone, leaving tears in his eyes.

Wan Li said to himself: "I joined the army at the age of thirteen, inherited the grace of God, and was fortunate to experience under the account of General Li of the Li family's army. Back then, I was so favored by General Li, but now I see his grandson committing such a serious danger but not being able to do anything about it, I am really in vain. Wanli was very grieved, and wept for a long time on the castle tower.

The Youyun soldiers and Feiyan did not return to the post station, but found idle houses around the palace, guarding the palace day and night, observing the surrounding movements, and preparing for the worst.
